Christina Applegate first revealed her shocking multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2021, and ever since then, she’s been in a constant battle with the disease.
While sometimes patients can go into remission with the disease, Applegate hasn’t been so lucky. The disease has impacted her in multiple ways, most notably her ability to walk. She’s been spotted using a cane and even a wheelchair in recent months.
During a recent conversation on the ‘MeSsy‘ podcast, which is co-hosted by Applegate and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Applegate’s 13-year-old daughter Sadie joined them.
And she talked about what it’s like watching her mom live with MS…
When she got diagnosed, it kind of just felt like…not like everything was over but it was hard seeing my mom lose a lot of the abilities she used to have in my childhood, When I was a kid, we would dance in her room for hours at a time.
Applegate jumped in, admitting she feels guilty when she has a particularly rough day and can’t make Sadie lunch or do much of anything at all…
I don’t ever want you to feel that I’m not capable to be your protector, your mother, you know, I love you. I want to make you food. I want to bring it to you. I want to do all the things and I do when I can. And I feel incredibly guilty when I can’t.
It was a pretty honest and emotional conversation. You can check it out here.
